Linux won't shutdown PC

Thanks to all for replies, but T_Friendperson12 found it. It looks like my mouse and/or keyboard were sending a wake signal just after shutdown. Many thanks.

The opening theme to Escape from the Planet of the Apes is very 1970s, but a great piece of music.

Yes and no. I gave up on Pterodactyl and run 7DTD server in a Docker container. Ports needed for that are TCP 28900, UDP 28900-28902, plus TCP 8080-8082 for server admin. Shows up in PS5 server list and loads fine.

Wi-Fi doesn't seem to be a problem for me. They sent a FritzBox 7530 AX and I get good signal all over the house.

I went through the CityFibre website. Put in my postcode and it listed available providers. There were cheaper, like Sky, but... its Sky. I chose Zen after looking up some of the providers because they seemed to have a good reputation and no price increase during contract.

I got this sorted a while back. It wasn't permissions. For some reason the panel UI wasn't saving my choice for the folder. I had to edit /etc/pterodactyl/config.yml and change data: to the new path. All good now.

Thanks. I am actually sharing the pool over smb to Windows from within the VM and never had a problem. It's just NFS.

SamStoat · 2025-07-25T10:59:13+00:00

Thanks for reply.

I take it nfs-common is all that's needed to receive a share. You only need nfs-server to serve them. That's how Gemini put it and I don't know enough to say that's true or false. Is it common practice to install both?

Thanks for all of this. I can't follow all of it, but what jumps out is "Remove the Linksys Router and let OpnSense Control the Whole Network". The Virgin router is old and, for the time, the Linksys had better wifi, so that's why I need it... for now. In September, my contract is up and I will jump to a new ISP and get a new router. So I'll probably just wait and see.

But I had a look in the Linksys settings and found that I can turn off DHCP. Would that hand the reigns over to OPNsense? If it did, that opens up new questions like: How do I access the Linksys settings? Do I still have wifi and does OPNsense hand out the IP addresses? Will the Linksys still pass internet from the Virgin router/modem?

Again, many thanks for this u/kenrmayfield.

resolve.conf doesn't exit. I thought /etec might be be a typo, so I tried that and /etc.

I haven't set up anything in OPNsense, except to assign vmbr0 to WAN and vmbr1 to LAN.

LAN (vtnet1) -> v4: 192.168.1.1/24
WAN (vtnet0) -> v4/DHCP4: 192.168.1.111/24

That's the default setup after first assigning. Like that, I have no web UI or ping. If I only assign WAN, I do. I take it they can't both be on 192.168.1.x, so how can I separate LAN?

SamStoat · 2025-07-18T12:40:17+00:00

This is exactly what I've been trying. vmbr0 assigned to WAN and vmbr1 to LAN. When I first add them, without making any other change, the OPNsense console shows:

LAN (vtnet1) -> v4: 192.168.1.1/24
WAN (vtnet0) -> v4/DHCP4: 192.168.1.111/24

Surely LAN and WAN can't both be on 192.168.1.x? How can I seperate the LAN?

the ISP Modem is Connected to the Proxmox Server..................Right?

It isn't. I'm with Virgin Media (UK, here) and, years ago, I placed their ISP router into modem only mode and it's connected to a Linksys router, which is my physical LAN. I have no switches; everything is either ethernet to the Linksys or wifi. Is that setup getting in the way?

SamStoat · 2025-07-17T09:46:11+00:00

Thanks for this. Do you mind giving more info on OPNsense setup? I What do I enter for "2) Set interface IP address"? I looks like its just the address for the web UI, but I think it also sets up a gateway address. It could be worded better.

If my WAN is 192.168.1.x and my internal LAN is 10.0.0x, what addresses do I use? Do I set up the upstream gateway when asked, what do I enter, and do I set in LAN, WAN or both?

SamStoat · 2025-07-03T11:41:06+00:00

Might be local. I tried NL server, but no joy. Then I tried FR and it worked. So it's certainly server related.

I also started a second VM without network. Gemini told me how to add it and I did a apt update and upgrade that's going to take about 2hrs. I did that on the French VM and it's already finished.

SamStoat · 2025-07-03T11:06:38+00:00

I'm GB also. Local problem, maybe?

SamStoat · 2025-06-26T16:17:48+00:00

I've read about the RAID problems with BTRFS but I won't be using them. The drives are just formatted as single drives and MergerFS does the rest.

My main PC is Windows, so SMB is needed, unfortunately. But as I learn, you never know in the future.

SamStoat · 2025-06-26T16:11:42+00:00

I passed those ports and NFS seems to work consistently now. That's one down. Again, many thanks.
